Amy Dickson

Amy Dickson

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 16 mi away • Clearwater, FL


Drawing from twenty years of experience in education and principal of therapeutic schools, I have developed the art of conflict resolution with reticent learners, with parents, with couples and individuals. I have the skillset to support people and transform their perceptions of self to cope with communication issues, anger, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and trauma. My empathetic approach offers people to find positive and creative techniques. I am highly gifted in working to establish and enhance relationships between parent and child/husband and wife using conflict resolution to create opportunities. As a clinician of almost ten years, I interact exceedingly well with individuals and couples to support positive communication and achieve personal growth whether it be in a marriage, parenting/school skills, or within oneself. My understanding, compassion, and acceptance of people when they enter therapy create a safe and trusting environment to unpack problems and develop strategies that enhance well-being, stability, and alternative perspectives on how to address struggles/conflicts.

Sylvie Fanous-Samaan Silva

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 20 mi away • St. Petersburg, FL


Hi, I’m Sylvie Silva (she/her), a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Certified Gestalt Therapist with over 7 years of experience supporting individuals and families through meaningful, holistic healing. I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults navigating identity, relationships, trauma, and life transitions.

My approach is warm, direct, and grounded in presence. I integrate Gestalt Therapy with Transpersonal, Depth, and mindfulness-based practices, offering a therapeutic space where every part of you is welcome—mind, body, and spirit. Clients often come to me looking for something deeper: healing that’s not just about symptom relief, but about reconnection to self, clarity of purpose, and real transformation.

I am proud to provide affirming care for LGBTQ+ individuals and families, and I center my work around the unique needs and strengths of BIPOC clients. My background includes training in wilderness therapy, Eastern psychology, child-centered modalities, and attachment-focused work. Whether we’re exploring childhood wounds, present-day stressors, or spiritual growth, I meet clients with nonjudgment, curiosity, and a strong belief in their inner capacity to heal.
